Hi all
I'm playing with the boot from volume options in Havana and have run into
problems:
(Openstack Havana, Ceph Dumpling (0.67.4), rbd for glance, cinder and
experimental ephemeral disk support)
The following things do work:
- glance images are in rbd
- cinder volumes are in rbd
- creating a VM from an image works
- creating a VM from a snapshot works
However, the booting from volume options fail in various ways:
* Select "Boot from Image (create volume)"
fails booting, with the VM complaining that there was no bootable device "Boot
failed: not a bootable disk"
The libvirt.xml definition is as follows:
<disk type="network" device="disk">
<driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none"/>
<source protocol="rbd"
name="volumes/volume-fa635ee4-5ea5-429d-bfab-6e53aa687245">
<host name="xxxx:yyyy:0:6::11c" port="6789"/>
<host name="xxxx:yyyy:0:6::11d" port="6789"/>
<host name="xxxx:yyyy:0:6::11e" port="6789"/>
</source>
<auth username="volumes">
<secret type="ceph" uuid="e1915277-e3a5-4547-bc9e-4991c6864dc7"/>
</auth>
<target bus="virtio" dev="vda"/>
<serial>fa635ee4-5ea5-429d-bfab-6e53aa687245</serial>
</disk>
The qemu command line is this:

The volume is known to cinder:
cinder list --all-tenants | grep fa635ee4
| fa635ee4-5ea5-429d-bfab-6e53aa687245 | in-use |
| 10 | None | true |
f28f9b90-9e75-45a7-ac34-c8dd2c6e3c5b |
and rbd
root@hxs:~# rbd --pool volumes ls | grep fa635ee4
volume-fa635ee4-5ea5-429d-bfab-6e53aa687245
the file is a qcow2 file:
root@hxs:~# rbd map --pool volumes volume-fa635ee4-5ea5-429d-bfab-6e53aa687245
root@hxs:~# mount /dev/rbd2p1 /dev/rbd
mount: special device /dev/rbd2p1 does not exist
root@hxs:~# dd if=/dev/rbd2 of=foo count=100
root@hxs:~# file foo
foo: QEMU QCOW Image (v2), 2147483648 bytes
It is our understanding, that we need raw volumes to get the boot process
working. Why is the volume created as a qcow2 volume?
cheers
